½ teaspoon, chili flakes
1 large, yellow onion, diced
1/4 cup, white wine

Directions:
Fill a large pot with 1 1/2 gallons of water and bring to a boil.
Heat a pan and add a tablespoon of the olive oil, chili flakes and garlic. When it starts to sizzle add the onions, once they starts browning add the wine and let evaporate.
Slice the sausage links in half lengthwise and peel off the casing, add to the pan, mix and cook for about 10 minutes
Chop the kale into strips and add to the sauce, stir it in, slightly lower the flame and cook for 10 minutes. If in need of moisture add a few tablespoons of hot water from the large pot.
Once pasta water is boiling, add 2 tablespoons of sea salt and pour the pasta in, keep stirring so that it doesn’t stick. Cook for the suggested time on pack, try one noodle before draining, you want to cook it ‘al dente’.
Once pasta is ready, drain but keep about ¼ cup of cooking water. Add pasta and cooking water to the sauce and stir at high flame for a few minutes.
Drizzle with the remaining olive oil and garnish with shaved Parmigiano Reggiano cheese. Enjoy!!
